Signature Dolphin Swim Overview

This exhilarating activity tour gives participants an up-close-and-personal encounter with our professionally trained Bottlenose Dolphins at our modern aquatic mammal compound, located in Nueva Vallarta just north of Puerto Vallarta. This is good clean fun for the entire family. You will earn plenty of information about the intelligent, friendly, and pleasant Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin.

This activity starts with a short orientation, when you learn how to communicate with the dolphins with hand signals. You will know everything necessary to effectively communicate with these brilliant cetaceans. This is a premium dolphin swim, capped at six participants in order to maximize each person’s interaction with the dolphins. You will be able to interact with the dolphins in several different ways, including feeding them, touching them, petting them, hugging them, and swimming with them in our saltwater dolphin habitat. You will even receive a tender dolphin kiss from these charming marine mammals. You will have the chance to try out the hand gestures that you learned from our bilingual guides. Through these hand signals, you can request that the dolphins perform some breathtaking acrobatics and return for their fishy reward. You can learn how to use these positive reinforcement techniques to train your family dog.

Our animal training experts are highly skilled and completely committed to the safety and care of both our resident dolphins as well as our human guests. Our professional personnel will ensure that all participants leave our compound with a deeper understanding of these remarkable animals and their fragile environment.
